Mass Production for Hyundai's Santa Fe Sport SUV

Hyundai Motor Manufacturing is now mass producing the Santa Fe Sport SUV.  Tuesday, Governor Robert Bentley had a chance to officially welcome back the Sport SUV, which had not been built in Montgomery since 2010.  Governor Bentley says the return of the Santa Fe shows that Hyundai is among top industry leaders.  The Santa Fe will make the third vehicle on Montgomery's assembly line and the plant will continue to produce Sonata and Elantras.  Hyundai forecast is to produce 36,700 Santa Fes this year.
